A NICE WAY TO START THE DAY

I started this blog over six years ago for various reasons:
1) It was a way for me to document various projects I did on the boat and when I did them.
2) It was a place I could share information, tips and techniques with others. Helping them learn from my successes and also avoid some of mistakes I made as I have learned from others.
3) It was a place I could document my travels and  experiences in the watery parts of the world both on BIANKA and other boats.
I am happy to write for myself but, it is also nice to know that others find some of my thoughts, projects and travels useful. So I was pleased to open up an email this morning from Elizabeth Fitch that read in part:

"The Bianka Log Blog, has been selected to be featured on our Sailing Blogs Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/pages/SailingBlogsorg/272682176145708. We like to pick blog posts that are well-written, topical, and engaging, so congratulations!"

It's certainly a nice feeling to have THE BIANKA LOG BLOG looked at and highlighted by others. Thanks to all readers who tie up here on occasion! I really appreciate it.

A Note of Thanks.

Sometime earlier today The BIANKA BLOG LOG passed one hundred thousand page views. I want thank all who at one time or another tied up to this blog over the years.

FIVE YEARS BEFORE THE NET

Well, hard to believe but, it's been five years since I started my writings and ramblings here on the BIANKA LOG BLOG.  My first post is here. Since that time a lot has happened the Westerebeke diesel was removed and replaced by an electric propulsion system. In so doing BIANKA became the world's first Nonsuch with electric propulsion. I've also managed to cruise or travel to some really nice places in the world and hope to travel to many more before the ride is over.
